The data set contains daily time-step observed and scenario climate data on a European grid with 25 km x 25 km spatial resolution and is intended to be used for crop modelling applications. The dataset covers the period 1980-2010 for observations (for a baseline period of 1981-2010 and the year 1980 for crop model simulations with sowing dates in the autumn) and the periods 2040-2069 and 2070-2099 for 5 GCMs x 2 forcing scenarios (RCP4.5...
